Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic.

The Kodak Vest Pocket Authographic. This was broken and to discard in an antique store and I bought it for $ 5. I discovered that the diaphragm worked, and it shut! I restored it by removing the original paint (and the corrossion on the aluminum surface) and repainting it with silver spray paint. All copper surfaces were polished and the lens cleaned inside. The bellows supports, somewhat primitive, have been repaired and aligned. The bellows was recovered. I am waiting to find the paper of a roll 127 to test the camera adapting a 35mm film, after checking leaks in the bellows. It allows to open a lid and write data in the film. This model is a symbol of WW1. This is dated in 1912.
